CYCLIC PULL-OUT BEHAVIOR OF PILES IN COHESIVE SOIL

Evaluation of Influencing Factors on the Pull-out Behavior of Suction Caissons

Suction caisson is a type of floor foundation for the offshore structures that is also called suction pile, bucket foundation, suction anchor, or sometimes ridge foundation depending on its application. In two past decades, this type of foundation has been widely used around the world as the fixed offshore foundation, anchor of the floating platforms, as well as the foundation of other marine s...

Effect of Geogrid Aperture Size and Soil Particle Size on Geogrid-Soil Interaction under Pull-Out Loading

Pull-out Behavior of Cfrp Single-strap Ground Anchors

Pull-out experiments were performed on four carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in rock and soil. The CFRP tendons used in these anchors comprise a single-strap end on both the ground and air sides. On the ground side, the single-strap end is embedded in a cylinder of high-strength grout which fits into the borehole. In rock applications, the grou...

A shear-lag model with a cohesive fibre–matrix interface for analysis of fibre pull-out

A shear-lag model with a cohesive fibre–matrix interface has been developed for the analysis of stress transfer between the fibre and the matrix in fibre-reinforced composites in this paper. A bilinear cohesive damage evolution law is used to describe the fibre–matrix interface behaviour. The governing equations for the interfacial shear stress and the axial stress in the fibre are derived. Acc...

Pushover Analysis of Piles in Stratified Soil

Pile foundations have been the subject of interest for earthquake engineers since last several decades. The devastations caused in major earthquakes of the world can be the reason enough to carry out the research on the topic of seismic behavior of piles. One definite concern is liquefaction induced ground movement after the shaking in an earthquake, causing extra lateral loads acting on piles....
